Congratulations to our 8th Grade Boys Basketball Team who won the 2007 NCPL Championship!!!

Last year, NCA 7th and 8th grade coaches, players and parents received the Jim Kane Sportsmanship
Award from the North Central Parish League! Votes were cast by all coaches, officials & NCPL
coordinators who judge discipline, attitude and overall experience at home gyms.

Also in 2006, the NCA 5th Grade Boys Basketball team came in third place in the Big Ten Division!

These are great accomplishments that honor all NCA families who continue to work collectively to
enrich our children's lives. Thanks to the many athletic volunteers and supporters young and old!
